Although this guess is very exaggerated, Shikamaru feels that he must have guessed correctly.
"Yes, Xiao Ling!"
Naruto was stunned for a moment when he heard Shikamaru's question, then turned and shouted to the obedient Zero-Tails who was being lectured by Nine-Tails over there.
At this time, the circular wound on its body caused by Truth-Seeking Orb has disappeared.
Zero-Tails was particularly concerned about this wound before, but Naruto didn't know how to treat the other party for a while. After all, Truth-Seeking Orb, as Yin-Yang Release's highest level Ninjutsu, its destructive power has a special effect on the body of Chakra's structure.
After hitting Zero-Tails with an extremely effective attack, he would be unable to recover for a while.
Originally Naruto thought so before.
In any case, Zero-Tails once appeared in front of him as an enemy, and there is no way to change this fact.
So even if I really left a wound on him, what does it matter?
After seeing Naruto's attitude, Zero-Tails was very desperate.
But Nine-Tails quickly intervened.
This is also a rare treatment attitude that is different from Naruto. It treated Zero-Tails.
Truth-Seeking Orb is Formula, the highest level of Yin-Yang Release. Chakra eliminated by it will not come back.
Zero-Tails, like Tailed Beast, is also a body and life composed of Chakra. For the body that is eliminated, it is actually like the life span being eliminated.
Human beings cannot understand the concept of Chakra Lifeform being eliminated, just like Chakra Lifeform cannot understand the physiology of animals like humans.
Nine-Tails understands this very well.
Chakra Lifeform bodies are different from ordinary creatures in that they do not need to forage and do not have most of the organs and physiological structures of life. This means that what sustains their lives is not the flowers, plants, or any living thing in this world.
Just like Tailed Beast, they are immortal and can exist at the same time even if their bodies are divided.
For example, Nine-Tails and Minato were sealed using Reaper Death Seal to seal Nine-Tails. Originally, if it was a human being whose soul was divided, even if he was lucky enough to survive, he would only have the consciousness of the part of the soul that has the body.
The soul sealed in the hands of Shinigami cannot give birth to a new consciousness.
But Nine-Tails can, and can even be divided into two parts with its body and consciousness sealed in two different places.
This is what makes Chakra Lifeform special.
One of its sealing locations at that time was in Naruto's body, and the other was sealed under the control of Shinigami.
There is no normal place.
However, no human being, not even an animal or a plant, can be sealed in this way. Once the soul is divided, one part will definitely die.
But not only did Nine-Tails not die, both copies of Chakra and his soul were still alive and nourishing.
Originally, Nine-Tails thought this was the special thing about them being Tailed Beast. After all, they were once the special Lifeform, Ten-Tails, and were divided into nine different life entities by Sage of Six Paths.
This kind of thing itself is unprecedented, so it is naturally a bit special and not surprising.
The most important thing is that there is no other reference.
But a later example changed this idea--
Minato remains in Naruto's body Chakra.
Ninja's use of Chakra is very miraculous, unlike Tailed Beast, Tailed Beast is born with the ability to use on himself Chakra has the absolute ability to control, but they are not born with the ability to transform Chakra into millions of postures like Ninja through Training.
When Naruto and Pain were fighting, when Minato Chakra, who was the back-up man of the seal and had self-awareness, appeared, Nine-Tails didn't think much about it because he was in a furious state.
But after I calmed down later, I thought about this scene again, and Nine-Tails felt a little strange.
Although there was only a part of Minato and Chakra left at that moment, was there any difference between Minato and Chakra Lifeform at that time?
One soul, one Chakra.
You must know that at that time, Minato's soul was not in Pure Land, but in the hands of Shinigami.
This Chakra left in the body is only part of the soul left by Minato in advance, but it has the same consciousness as Minato.
Then Kushina's Chakra also appeared, and it was the same situation, which made Nine-Tails have new doubts about this issue.
Could it be that Ninjas have also mastered the ability to cut their own Chakras and produce life?
Like Old Man Six Paths did to Ten-Tails?
It's just that at that time Nine-Tails didn't have a deep understanding of Ninja's methods. He simply thought that this might be something that only Ninja could do--
Of course, now that I think about it, I mainly blame Naruto for not studying hard.
After becoming Hokage, Naruto did not systematically supplement these basic knowledge.
Although over a period of time, Naruto learned a lot of knowledge as preparation for Hokage, but those were more related to the Ninja system.
As a result, Nine-Tails in the previous life had no way to understand the specific principles of how Ninjas used Chakra.
However, it was also because of these things that Nine-Tails became curious about the use of Chakra. In addition, Naruto spent most of his time correcting homework to fulfill his responsibilities as Hokage.
So Nine-Tails started to study his own methods of using Chakra when he was bored.
Using Chakra in their instincts, the means are fixed. Even as a collective of them, Ten-Tails has never demonstrated the abilities that each of their nine heads Tailed Beast has.
This leads to a very strange fact - even Chakra Lifeform has less control over Chakra than the Ninja who acquired Training.
It's just that this idea didn't particularly concern Nine-Tails in its previous life. After all, it had already identified with Naruto and that Shinobi World.
So in the end it was only studying its own Chakra, and the final result was--
Baryon Mode.
A brand-new method of utilizing one's own Chakra to assist Naruto.
But in this life, when it woke up again in Naruto's body, it had problems in this regard.
As he experimented, Chakra of Minato was retained by him, and soul consciousness was created.
Follow Minato Namikaze to learn Ninjutsu, which indeed also masters the way humans use Chakra.
And, it was successfully copied.
Regarding this issue, Naruto once asked Nine-Tails by chance, to the effect that you don't need to eat anything in my body? Won't you starve to death?
"Chakra is everything. As long as Chakra is refined, Chakra Lifeform body will not be in any danger to life."
Nine-Tails's answer was also very simple, although Naruto didn't understand it very well, and Nine-Tails didn't give a detailed explanation.
After all, just like Nine-Tails doesn't understand the structure of human beings even if it's true, for Nine-Tails who was in Naruto's body at that time, it also had a chance to ask questions to Naruto of Seventh Hokage -
